Los Angeles
F.L.U.I.D. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Trying to forget about all the things you said
Only hurt so bad because there was some truth in it
Looks like I’m leaving you again
I have come some far since you knew me way back then
You still know exactly how to get under my skin
Love you more than anyone I hate to say it my friend
Now I’m runnin’ down the interstate
Heading for the county line
Runnin’ down the lost highway
Leavin’ old tracks behind
Take me anywhere but here
I’m about to lose my mind
Leaving Los Angeles tonight
From the window seat of this crowded train
The ocean turning in to desert plains
No matter how far I go in my heart you will remain
Looks like I’m leaving you again
Now I’m runnin’ down the interstate
Heading for the county line
Runnin’ down the lost highway
Leavin’ old tracks behind
Take me anywhere but here
I’m about to lose my mind
Leaving Los Angeles
Leaving Los Angeles
Leaving Los Angeles tonight
